Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Noah Boeken raised to 8,000 in the hijack and Jeremie Beneteau three-bet to 20,000 in the cutoff. Gautier Laurent then moved all in for 120,000 in the big blind, Boeken folded, while Beneteau snap-called and Laurent flung his arms in the air in frustration even before the cards were revealed.

Gautier Laurent: A♥8♥ All in
Jeremie Beneteau: A♠A♦

Laurent had run into Beneteau's aces and the 5♥Q♠5♣2♦10♣ board provided no reprieve as he headed off to the exit.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action was on the river on a board of 3♥10♣J♦4♣Q♠ in an inflated pot worth several hundred thousand chips. Andreas Goeller checked and Antoine Saout pushed all in for 190,000. Goeller went into the tank before making the call.

Saout had A♠10♠ for a pair of tens that he'd turned into a bluff. Goeller had A♣Q♣ for a pair of queens to win the pot, sending Saout to the rail.

Goeller slammed his fists on the table in excitement several times, then got told to calm down by the floor. In any case, he chipped up to over 800,000 and put himself among the chip leaders as Day 2 drew to a close.
